Hello,

First of all, I want to say that this plugin is truly amazing. Unfortunately, after testing it extensively on multiple Rust servers, I encountered a serious issue that appears to be directly related to it.

Players eventually start experiencing freezing and stuttering while walking or running. NPCs and players can also lose their leg movement animations, making them appear to glide or move incorrectly. I tested the plugin on several different servers, both vanilla and modded, and consistently obtained the same results, even with 10ms.

The impact was significant enough that I experienced a noticeable loss of players before finally identifying this plugin as the root cause.

My suspicion is that the plugin is not properly cleaning up some of the entities it creates when a dungeon closes. Using Vanish, I was able to find objects and structures located below the map that appeared to be remnants of previous dungeons. These leftover entities could not even be removed manually using commands such as ent kill.

At the same time, the server console began flooding with messages similar to:

Entity is NULL but is still in saveList - not destroyed properly? drone.storage[6632422]

The entity ID changes each time, but the warning pattern remains the same.

To investigate further, I created a custom plugin that scans for and removes dead or invalid entities that the server continues to reference in memory. I was able to successfully detect and remove many of these entities. However, even after cleaning them up and restarting the servers, the freezing issue continued to occur.

To be completely honest, I have not yet determined the exact root cause, nor have I reviewed the source code of this plugin in detail. However, based on the testing and troubleshooting I performed across multiple environments, I believe there is likely an issue related to entity cleanup or entity lifecycle management that deserves further investigation.

I wanted to share my findings in case they help identify and resolve the problem in a future update.

Thank you for your work and for maintaining this plugin.
